Agencies target displaced and vulnerable

World Vision’s “major interventions” for Ruhengeri’s displaced population will stress the temporary nature of displaced camps. In a statement received by IRIN today, World Vision said its planned programmes - focusing on therapeutic nutrition, health and shelter assistance - will “do nothing that tends to make the camps permanent.” The NGO has begun distributing relief items in four Ruhengeri camps. Meanwhile, FAO said it has started a project that will supply some 9,000 goats and sheep to households in the Byumba, Gikongoro and Umutara prefectures. The IFAD-funded project aims to increase the incomes of vulnerable families, FAO said in a statement received by IRIN.
